Chain UV and facility data in Windsurf

Cascade doesn't wait for your next prompt. It strings together `uv_daily_zip` and `graphql_query` calls to map environmental hazards against your project requirements without manual intervention. Watch Cascade build your research layer. It fetches the raw numbers and feeds them straight into your logic, cutting out the typical back-and-forth of manual data retrieval.

Automated Envirofacts integration

Your MCP Server exposes the full EPA dataset to the IDE. You just define the goal—like checking site-specific toxic release inventories—and Windsurf handles the `rest_query` execution. It’s a direct pipe to the EPA API. You skip the browser tabs and the search forms, getting the exact data points inside your file structure.

Real-time environmental context

Bring `uv_hourly_zip` forecasts into your UI development. Windsurf keeps the context updated as you write code, ensuring your application reacts to current environmental conditions. This is about having the data live. When you need to verify a location's UV index or facility status, the tool is already sitting in your MCP panel ready to fire.
